Magnify Your World, presented by Mag+, offers Cash Prizes, iPads and Global Exposure to Influential Leaders in Six Creative Industries

The revolution will be digitized. Are you ready? Whether marketing a business, a book, a band, a magazine, even a movie or your own work, tablet publishing must be part of your promotional strategy in 2012. Mag+, one of the world leaders in easy-to-use digital publishing platforms for touch screen tablets, motivates all creatives to engage with iPad and tablet publishing with the Magnify Your World contest.

The Grand Prize is $5000. The Judges are Design Leaders from all over. Entrants can submit their digital publishing passion projects in one of six creative categories to be eligible to win $1,000 and the chance to be awarded $5,000 as the Best-in-Show winner. The public will also vote via social media for a Public’s Choice Winner, who will also win $1,000. Every month, a Mag+ “Pick of the Month” will be showcased in a brief video and receive an iPad.
